Such as it was. Whilst walking yesterday afternoon I noticed some black ash raining down on me. I’m like WTF? I didn’t see anything, but once I removed my headphones, I heard the snap, crackle, and pop of a brush fire. Looked through the trees and saw this:

Anyway, that was my “excitement” for the day. Well, I did manage a third-place finish in darts last night. I threw decently and given that my partner was pretty weak, it wasn’t a bad showing.

There seems to be more controversy and fallout from Wednesday’s Sampaloc craziness. The guy I mentioned who declined to give a statement in support of the Barangay complaint has been kicked out of the bar owned by the guy who filed the complaint. Hoo boy. Most of those on the trip are Hashers and I fear there may be some negative impact there as well. Not so coincidentally, I received a Facebook friend request from the complainant today. No doubt he’s seeking my statement as well, but I’m just not going to get involved in this mess.

Not much else to report. Well, I did like this:

Speaking of impeachment, I made some pithy reply to a question on the subject in a Quora forum. It elicited this response:

Liberals share news and views with the rest of planet earth and it all corroborates. Conservatives hide in echo chambers where they can make up their own little world with its own little truths. The entire planet Earth agrees with Mr. Weir except for a small group of mostly older, male, white, religious, rural, poorly educated but well armed Americans who believe they know better than everyone else.

This is where you reply “wait until the election and then you’ll see” because you have nothing else to stand on, no truth, no foundation, nothing, just another lame prediction of the future based on the usual, which is your own echo chamber on your own planet.

Enjoy your little planet but Earth is leaving you behind, and you’re trying to hurt the rest of us because you know it’s true.

I think this captures the liberal “head in the sand” mentality as well as anything I’ve seen. Also the tendency to project their own biases and lack of intellectual rigor on others. It’s both sad and funny and explains why we have Trump. Ah well. I have lots of time on my hands but none that I’m willing to waste in responding to this kind of ignorance.

Let me leave you with a little something to cleanse the palate of the political bullshit residue:

A man came home and saw his wife watching a cooking show on TV. “What’s the point of watching a cooking show?” he asked. “You don’t know how to cook?” The wife shot back, “But you watch porn!”
